5 ways to say that someone is beautiful/pretty

posted 1 year ago

Du bist…. [‘du: ‘bist] = You’re…

1.) schön [‘ʃø:n]

2.) wunderschön

3.) bildschön

4.) hübsch [‘hʏpʃ]

5.) bildhübsch

EDIT: Some of you asked me to explain the pronunciation of these words. As you can see, I’ve already added phonetic transcriptions in the [] brackets for “du bist”, “schön” and “hübsch” to help you understand the pronunciation.

Maybe you have problems with “bild-” and “wunder-“. Here’s how you pronounce those two:

[‘bilt] [‘vundɐ] - now you just have to combinate the phonetic transcriptions. e.g.

wunderschön = [‘vundɐʃø:n] (sounds like “voondashain”)

bildhübsch = [‘bilthʏpʃ] (sounds like “bilthuepsh”) (ü like in the French word rue)

I hope this is a bit clearer now :)
